Certifications
The team at Foster Farm Botanicals is committed to the values and practices of all three of these certifications. We value product quality, soil health and social equity above all!
USDA Organic | VOFA Organic
Since Foster Farm’s inception, we have been passionate about organic farming practices. The USDA works to ensure consumers are able to navigate the market and find quality products! We have maintained our USDA organic certification through the Vermont Organic Farmer’s Association.
Real Organic Project
We are certified organic by the Real Organic Project. This is a grassroots movement was started by Vermont vegetable farmers to protect the meaning of organic. Tenants of the Real Organic Certification include growing crops in soil, and that healthy soils translate to healthy crops!
Regenerative Organic Certified ®
We are excited to announce that as of February 2023 Foster Farm Botanicals is officially a Silver level Regenerative Organic Certified® Farm. Regenerative Organic Certified® uses the USDA Certified Organic standard as a baseline. From there, it adds important criteria and benchmarks that incorporate the three major pillars of regenerative organic agriculture into one certification. Part of regenerative farming practices is to go beyond simply sustaining soil quality and seek to improve and rehabilitate our soil. Companies who seek Regenerative Organic Certified are committed to soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness
